Noted:
One
can view Trump unfavorably
and yet still vote for him; in
fact that's the only way most of the people who say they will vote
for him feel. Those who smugly say Trump is unelectable do not
understand that the majority of Americans side with Trump in
criticizing
globalization and see Clinton as a supporter of the status quo. She
also represents trickle-down economics, free trade, the dominance of
financial elites, and “the establishment” - which are not
gleefully embraced by a majority of the American public. And in
easily chasing Jeb Bush from the field of battle, Trump has already
vanquished a pretty fair working copy of Hillary.

Packers:Arizona
Republicans are about to get two more justices on the state Supreme
Court thanks to a bill that will expand the court from
five to seven members and allow the GOP governor to appoint the
new justices. They
got the idea from FDR.

Shocker:
Would you be surprised to learn that nearly all of the money that
purportedly went to bail out Greece actually went to banks? Me
neither. Wonder how much of the 95% that didn't go to Greece went to
Goldman Sachs, how much to the German banks...

If
Only: Glen Beck
fears that Trump's
primacy means there will never again be a Republican President. I'd
prefer their being the minority party as they quietly effervesce into
the warming atmosphere.

Sisyphus:Clinton says she will
rally women to defeat Trump. Sorry,
Hil, there aren't that many post-menopausal women.

Hope
Springs Eternal:
Online advertising's efficiency has been dwindling for years, as the
targeted audience resorts to ad blockers and simple inattention.
Companies are becoming quite aware that their advertising dollars are
not generating the desired returns. Either ads will become even more
obnoxious, or fade away. Either way, advertising billboards like
Facebook and Google should be concerned.

Wording:
“The Democratic Party has strayed from its aspirational path.”
Strayed reads better than 'abandoned'. And“This report is
unlikely to affect expectations for what is expected...”

W/O
Comment:Maine
has ruled that people
living in Section 8 Public Housing cannot use medical marijuana,
prescription or no prescription.

Our Motto

Keep fightin' for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord, let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous, ridicule the fraidy-cats, rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through kickin' ass and celebratin' the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was.
